    So,

    I have a question that I probably already know the answer to. Just ordered a pair of Titan towers to replace my LXs. I have a Duo V2 but want to replace that with the Horizon once I figure out how I am going to fit it into my system. I was going to order the Titan version of the Horizon, but my gut feeling says that the Raal version will be superior for center duty. In this use case, is there a wide gap between the performance of the two?

    Thanks,

    Hawk

    Very subjective as far as the "gap" is concerned. I'd say for HT, stick with the Titan. I love my LX's upfront for "do all" system, but I sure I would be just as happy with 2EX's.

    That said, why did you go with the Titan towers? What swayed you over the RAAL?

    Honestly, the price deferential and the fact that I read that the Titan is perfectly acceptable for HT. 90% of the use of this system will be HT. Just thought that perhaps the Raal will shine a little more in center duty than the Titan.

    For HT usage, the RAAL does offer slightly better dialogue clarity and detail, but I would say the gap is small and you are perfectly OK going with the the Titan version.

    Hope this helps!

    It does, probably will be seeing me order from me again in the near future.
